Party it up in the Splatoon 3 Grand Festival event this weekend!

Splatfests in the Splatoon™ 3 game for the Nintendo Switch™ system reach a “grand” finale in the music-filled Grand Festival in-game event*, happening now! From the minute your Inkling or Octoling arrives at the train station and walks through the ink shower unscathed, you’ll see why this is a Splatfest like no other:

This Splatfest for Splatoon 3 is a three-day, in-game festival of music, ink-stained competition, and community fun. There are surprises lurking everywhere: from the field of competition to the rafters high above the main concert stages—where, this time, it’s not just the Anarchy Splatcast hosts Deep Cut who are getting in on the act!

Players will choose between three different musical acts from all three Splatoon games as they try to answer the impossible question: “Which is the most important to you: Past, Present or Future?” To participate, you'll need Splatoon 3 and a Nintendo Switch Online membership*. Color us excited!
